I just listened to Rhymefest today and it's great!

by great I mean fun and accomplished and diverse, it's not like he's T.I. or Chingo Bling or anything

― Matt Cibula (Formerly, the Haikunym), Friday, 8 December 2006 21:48 (seventeen years ago) link

i just DLed the new Nas too, but i've never really cared about him since Illmatic (which i bought on it's first day in highschool - geez, hype has been strong even then)

― jaxon (jaxon), Friday, 8 December 2006 23:01 (seventeen years ago) link

and Snoop's new one is kinda meh. decent but nothing amazing.

― jaxon (jaxon), Friday, 8 December 2006 23:01 (seventeen years ago) link

really what i've been listening to a lot is a slsk 12 cd comp of Jay Dee produced tracks called "Soulful Genius (Library of a Legend)". there's a Slum Village track called "Who We Are" that's absolutely bonkers. i guess it's on their "Prequel to a Classic" release which i have no idea what it is.

you mean 102?

The Lil Weezyana mixtape is one of my favourite things of the year. Best gay rapper alive!

Lil Wayne: gay rapper?

http://www.knox.edu/Images/_News/news_media/img/2006/colbert_stephen-1ss.jpg

...or the gayest rapper?

― Al (Alex In Baltimore), Saturday, 9 December 2006 16:02 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah, i feel you, i didn't really like the stuff on 101 either.

Hip Hop Is Dead is pretty good so far, but WTF is up with "Who Killed It"!? I have no idea what kind of voice Nas is trying to there but it's more embarrassing than all the tracks with 'Scarlett' on Street's Disciple put together.

― Al (Alex In Baltimore), Saturday, 9 December 2006 16:37 (seventeen years ago) link

similiarly, "the whirlwind of beef, I inhale it" makes me want to vomit more than any of the gross sex rhymes on the last album.

― Al (Alex In Baltimore), Saturday, 9 December 2006 16:40 (seventeen years ago) link

also Nas WHY OH WHY do we have to hear your wifey's horrible horrible speaking voice on your albums? that shit is more nails-on-a-chalkboard than, well, her singing voice.

― Al (Alex In Baltimore), Saturday, 9 December 2006 16:41 (seventeen years ago) link

so this'll be his "retirement" album

― amon (amon), Saturday, 9 December 2006 17:00 (seventeen years ago) link

im liking "hip hop is dead"; i had forgotten how good nas can be when he wants to. theres a lot less self-indulgence on this album it seems like. the track with jay is almost as good as i could have hoped.

― max (maxreax), Saturday, 9 December 2006 17:26 (seventeen years ago) link

Lil Crappy rhymes like a dude with his nipples pierced. Money in the bank is the best song on the album and it is lukewarm at best. This guy is a candidate to be the all time best wal mart greeter in the history of Wal mart.

whoever said that about 'Lil Crappy' OTM

― Al (Alex In Baltimore), Monday, 11 December 2006 17:42 (seventeen years ago) link

I think he's supposed to be like a Humphrey Bogart type film noir detective on Who Killed It.

― M@tt He1ges0n (Matt Helgeson), Monday, 11 December 2006 17:52 (seventeen years ago) link

'who killed it' is seriously unlistenable like is nas trying out for a voice spot on animaniacs or something

im gonna start a new thread to list rappers who rhyme like a dude with his nipples pierced

― and what (ooo), Monday, 11 December 2006 17:53 (seventeen years ago) link

lol @ 'the whirlwind of beef i inhale it' too - good to see im not the only dude who got screwfaced on that line

― and what (ooo), Monday, 11 December 2006 17:54 (seventeen years ago) link

someone with photoshop skills needs to work that line and a picture of Nas into a Wendy's ad

It worked for Tone Loc.

But if that's what you have to do to work with Kim Fields, so be it.

you willfully misinterpreted my words, sir, and I thank you for it

― Al (Alex In Baltimore), Monday, 11 December 2006 20:12 (seventeen years ago) link

i had to rush-job it because i'm wading through some dude's 40,000 word blog post and 666 comments box replies about how breihan is worse than jerry heller and mark fuhrman put together

haha poor Tom, the things that he's wrong about are so benign that it just had to be some riffraff-y joke headline like "Pitbull: Better Than Nas" that turned him into the rap blog anti-christ. as far as i can tell it's really not worth wading through all those blog posts and comments and inhaling the whirlwind of beef, as it were.

― Al (Alex In Baltimore), Monday, 11 December 2006 20:50 (seventeen years ago) link

i almost wonder if Nas got that idea from the old Blu Blockers sunglasses commercial...there's this wierdo LA dude named Geek (the Rock n' Roll freak, rockn my rhymes up and down Venice Beach) that hangs out around Hollywood and Vine and other places, rapping with a big sombrero on....anyway, in the old Blu Blockers commercial he did a H-Bo voice and was all like "yeah, schee, the Blockers are the best, wear 'em when I'm rhymin way out west"

i really like 'fergalicious' :-[

haha i was at a bar the other night and realized how much i like "london bridge"

― strongo (temp.) (sandboxhulkington), Monday, 11 December 2006 22:35 (seventeen years ago) link

who knew a sandpaper faced bedwetter could take "tipsy" and make it better

― strongo (temp.) (sandboxhulkington), Monday, 11 December 2006 22:35 (seventeen years ago) link

can i get a... + jj fad + kraftwerk

― and what (ooo), Monday, 11 December 2006 22:40 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm not totally on board w/fergalicious, but that synth line one the i stay vicious..got those boys on rock rock singing part is pretty great.
